Decision 2024/007/R
OPERATIONS IN CLASS F
AIRSPACE
(a) Aircraft
using the air traffic advisory service
IFR flights electing to use or
required by the competent authority on the basis of regional air navigation
agreements to use the air traffic advisory service when operating within Class
F airspace should comply with the same procedures as those applying to
controlled flights except that:
(1) the flight plan and changes thereto are not subjected to a
clearance, since the unit furnishing air traffic advisory service will only
provide advice on the presence of essential traffic or suggestions a possible course of action;
(2) it is for the aircraft to decide whether or not it will comply
with the advice or suggestion received and to inform the unit providing air
traffic advisory service, without delay, of its decision;
(3) air–ground contacts should be made with the air traffic
services unit designated to provide air traffic advisory service within the
advisory airspace or portion thereof.
(b) Aircraft
not using the air traffic advisory service
(1) Aircraft wishing to conduct IFR flights within advisory
airspace, but not electing to use the air traffic advisory service, should
nevertheless submit a flight plan, and notify changes made thereto to the unit
providing that service.
(2) IFR flights intending to cross an advisory route should do so
as nearly as possible at an angle of 90 degrees to the direction of the route
and at a level, appropriate to its track, selected from the tables of cruising
levels prescribed for use by IFR flights operating outside controlled
airspace.
In Class F airspace, IFR flights using air traffic advisory services follow controlled flight procedures, but advisory units offer suggestions, not clearances. Pilots decide whether to comply and inform the unit. IFR flights not using the service must still file flight plans. Crossing advisory routes should be at 90-degree angles and appropriate IFR levels.
